Illusions as a Creature Type

[Arcanemuses]

What if illusions occurred in other ways than a mage casting a spell? What if they spawned out of dreams, nightmares, or due to some disturbance in realty? Take the myriad of creatures created by the shadow conjuration spells. What if they just appeared mysteriously and ran wild?

Just an idea. I hope it inspires fun gaming.

Magic the Gathering had similar concept. It's not a bad idea, but needs a bit more meat on the bones.

I generally use the shadow creature template for "real" creatures made from illusions.
